5.0 out of 5 stars A Corporate Tax Student from a Boston Law School, March 11, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Corporate Taxation: Examples and Explanations (The Examples & Explanations Series) (Paperback)

I highly recommend Cheryl Block's book on Corporate Taxation to any student of Corporate Tax. The book is easy to read and succinctly describes the intricacies of the fundamental corporate tax issues. Ms. Block's explanation of section 304 (Redemptions by related corporations) was a tremendous help and her examples drove home the basics. In addition, I found it very easy to read the explanations along with my case book to supplement my weekly readings. Ms. Block takes each section of the code and reworks it into common, understandable language. Without this book, I would never be able to participate in class discussion. One of the best aspects of this publication is that it is very recent. Overall, a superior study and learning aid.

5.0 out of 5 stars Extremely Helpful, August 3, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Corporate Taxation: Examples and Explanations (The Examples & Explanations Series) (Paperback)

Corp. tax is one of the more difficult courses in Law School, but is highly recommended for anyone with an interest in transactional practice, or looking to improve their skills in using challenging statutory material. This book makes the subject a great deal easier---one of the better study aids I've used. The explanations are very lucid, and the problems are extremely helpful for exam prep. Keep this within arm's reach of your I.R.C.

This review is from: Corporate Taxation: Examples And Explanations (Examples & Explanations) (Paperback)

This volume reduces into terms capable of being readily absorbed the application of Subchapter C. The examples and explanations are basic while conveying the needed concepts of various treatments of contributed property, boot, distributions, attribution rules, etc.
